Now in its third generation as a family-run business, Pronovost is answering growing residential demand with the Cyclone snowblower—redesigned for better balance, smoother surface transitions, and the power to replace plowing in some neighborhoods.
Pronovost, a company now in its third generation as a family-run business, has long been a trusted name in snow removal—building everything from compact residential models to robust municipal and industrial products. Their reputation for quality craftsmanship and innovation spans decades, and today, they’re meeting a new kind of demand: the rapidly growing residential snow removal market.
According to the team at Pronovost, this shift in the market has sparked exciting product developments—chief among them, the launch of the Cyclone snowblower. Designed to deliver more efficient and balanced performance, the Cyclone features a reengineered design that brings the fan and gearbox closer to the tractor.
“It’s the same weight unit, but it carries much better now that we’ve brought the weight closer to the tractor,” Jim Mackenzie explained.
This design enhancement helps improve handling and stability, especially in smaller residential areas where agility matters. But it’s not just about balance—Pronovost is also focused on smart functionality. One standout feature of the Cyclone is its telescopic top link, which helps the unit transition more effectively across mixed surfaces such as loose gravel, asphalt, concrete, and pavers.
Recognizing that many contractors already have a diverse equipment lineup, Pronovost will also off hydraulic packages that are more adaptable for use with skid steers and small loaders—broadening the Cyclone’s versatility across different platforms.
Perhaps one of the most surprising impacts of the Cyclone is its ability to replace plow operations in some neighborhoods altogether.
“We’re seeing customers choose the Cyclone over traditional plowing methods,” Mackenzie said. “It’s really being driven by demand. People want cleaner, more effective snow removal with fewer snowbanks left behind.”
With its smart engineering, user-focused design, and family-led legacy, Pronovost is proving once again why it remains a key player in the snow and ice industry—whether clearing highways or hometown driveways.
